Telít

Telít is a Hungarian verb meaning to saturate or to fill to capacity. It denotes reaching the maximum possible content, concentration, or occupancy in a system or medium. The term is used in everyday language as well as in technical contexts such as chemistry, physics, color theory, and ecology. It can describe both literal filling (a container being filled) and more abstract saturation (a substance, energy, or information reaching its limit).

In science and everyday usage, telítés describes reaching the limit of solubility or capacity. In chemistry, a telített oldat is a solution in which no more solute can dissolve at the given temperature; any additional solute remains undissolved. An oldat that can dissolve more solute is telítetlen. In physics and engineering, telítés can refer to saturating a material or signal with energy, stress, or charge. In color theory or imaging, telítettség denotes color saturation or intensity; higher telítettség yields a more vivid color, approaching the pure hue.

Forms and related terms include telíteni (to saturate), telítődik or telítődni (to become saturated), telített (saturated), and telítő (saturating). The noun telítettség denotes the level of saturation. The term appears in various compound phrases, such as telített oldat (saturated solution) and telítési görbe (saturation curve), used across disciplines to describe the extent to which a system has reached its capacity.
